The enormous datasets that have been produced since the introduction of this method can be handled effectively and made accessible to the scientific public only by providing an open access internet platform. This includes an information website, an automated working database of the fossil taxa, of modern taxa, and plant localities, and a calculation tool to apply the IPR-vegetation analysis effectively.

Here, we introduce the internet platform for open access and automatised data-processing for the IPR-vegetation analysis and we compare the approach to other methods focusing on vegetation reconstruction.

Building of the IPR-vegetation analysis website and database was supported by the grant projects GA ČR (Grant Agency of the Czech Republic) No. P210/10/0124 and KONTAKT (Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic) No. ME 09115.
